A Food Delivery Guy Stole This Woman’s Number From His Work To Send Her These Creepy Texts

In today’s society, you almost can’t do anything without your phone — you need the number to apply for jobs, download apps and even order food to your house. Unfortunately, that means your phone number is out there for a lot of people to find — even people who are a little creepy.

That’s what Twitter user Michelle Midwinter realized when she got these weird texts from someone claiming to be a “fan.”

Unfortunately, Just Eat didn’t do much but offer her a voucher — and didn’t do anything about the fact that one of their employees used her contact information for something besides work.

Michelle tweeted about the terrible service, and it turns out, she’s not the only person who’s had this kind of problem.

Just a snippet of Just Eat’s response to my receiving unsolicited messages from the guy who had just delivered my food. Nice one Just Eat! Apart from him using my number in this way surely being in breach of privacy laws etc, they don’t really seem to take it seriously do they?? pic.twitter.com/OVZkl0IW5f

Both said the same thing! Didn’t even get a £10 voucher..they offered me nothing!! It wasn’t even my delivery driver who’d sent the messages..he passed my number onto another driver at the restaurant!!

I had a furniture guy that came to the house find me on Facebook (was 16 at the time) he started asking me a bunch of very weird sexual questions. Ended up blocking him. Had my name address number and managed to find my social media

Okay, gross. This is a serious problem — especially if the person is using your number/information to harass you. Why does anyone think this is okay?

As the story made rounds around the internet, people had a lot to say about it, including the Information Commissioner’s Office, an independent UK organization meant to uphold information rights in the public interest. They tweeted:
